The proliferation of cells in vivo and in culture is regulated by polypeptide growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Growth factors initiate their action by binding to specific cell surface receptors. Receptor occupancy triggers a cascade of physiological changes in the target cell which ultimately lead to DNA synthesis and cell division. Immediate consequences of receptor activation include tyrosine-specific protein phosphorylations, a sustained increase in cytoplasmic pH (pHi) and a transient rise in free Ca2+. The rise in pHi has a permissive effect on DNA synthesis and is mediated by an otherwise quiescent Na+/H+ exchange mechanism in the plasma membrane, which is turned on by protein kinase C, the cellular receptor for phorbol esters. The rapid Ca2+ signal is due to either release from internal stores (PDGF) or net entry via a voltage-independent channel in the plasma membrane (EGF). Phorbol esters, acting via kinase C, inhibit the growth factor-induced Ca2+ signals without affecting resting Ca2+ levels. Monoclonal antibodies against the human EGF receptor can act as partial agonists in that they activate the tyrosine-specific protein kinase without inducing any of the ionic signals. These antibodies fail to induce DNA synthesis when added to quiescent fibroblasts, indicating that the Ca2+ and pHi signals can be dissociated from tyrosine kinase activity and suggesting that these signals are indispensable for the stimulation of cell proliferation.

Antibodies against phosphotyrosine are a powerful tool with which to identify proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine residues, such as viral oncogene-encoded transforming proteins and their cellular protein substrates. Probed on human leukemia cell lines, phosphotyrosine antibodies recognized a 210,000-molecular-weight protein (p210) in K562 cells, a cell line derived from a Philadelphia (Ph)'-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), but recognized no protein in control Ph'-negative non-CML leukemia cells. The p210 protein was also recognized by antisera against v-abl-encoded polypeptides and displayed kinase activity, phosphorylating itself on tyrosine, in an immunocomplex kinase assay. These data are consistent with reported findings of the expression of a recombined bcr-abl gene in Ph'-positive CML cells, leading to the synthesis of an altered p210c-abl protein endowed with tyrosine kinase activity. Phosphotyrosine antibodies also detected the expression of the p210c-abl protein in fresh bone marrow cells harvested from CML patients in blast crisis. Besides the p210c-abl protein kinase, phosphotyrosine antibodies recognized other proteins with molecular weights of 110,000, 68,000, and 36,000 (p110, p68, and p36) in K562 cells. When [gamma-32P]ATP was added to nonionic detergent-extracted cells, these proteins became phosphorylated on tyrosine, as confirmed by phosphoamino acid analysis. A comparison with fibroblasts transformed by the v-abl, v-src, and v-fps oncogenes suggested the identity of the p36 protein with the common 36-kilodalton protein substrate of viral oncogene-encoded tyrosine kinases. Enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins is thus a feature shared by cells transformed by v-abl and cells expressing a rearranged bcr-abl gene.

The inhibitor protein of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase is a potential high affinity regulator of cAMP function. We now show that it is phosphorylated in Tyr7 by the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of epidermal growth factor receptor. The phosphorylated form can be readily separated from the unphosphorylated protein by high pressure liquid chromatography which has permitted the isolation of stoichiometrically phosphorylated protein. Using this method, it has been demonstrated that this phosphorylation, which occurs within the inhibitor protein's active domain, results in a 6 to 9-fold decrease in inhibitory potency. Possibly, a component of growth control could be the coupling of tyrosine kinase activity to cAMP-mediated cellular proliferation via the regulation of the efficacy of the inhibitor protein.

The relative abundance of pp60c-src molecules associated with polyomavirus (Py) middle tumor antigen (MTAg) and the relative abundance of MTAg associated with pp60c-src in a variety of Py-transformed rat cells was determined by quantitative immunoblot analyses which detect pp60c-src or Py MTAg. The results demonstrate that approximately 5 to 10% of the total immunoprecipitable pp60c-src molecules in Py-transformed rat cells are stably associated with MTAg and have elevated protein kinase activities. In these same cells, it was found that approximately 10 to 15% of the detectable MTAg molecules are stably associated with pp60c-src. Other results presented in this report demonstrate that approximately 50 to 75% of the total MTAg-associated cellular tyrosine kinase activity potentially represents the enzymatic activity of pp60c-src, while the remaining 25 to 50% represents the activity of other cellular tyrosine kinases. Our results also show that most pp60c-src molecules associated with Py MTAg do not possess electrophoretic mobilities that are altered from those of pp60c-src molecules not associated with MTAg or pp60c-src molecules obtained from normal rodent cells.

Differentiating rat neurons express high levels of the protooncogene product pp60c-src, a 60-kDa tyrosine kinase of unknown function encoded by c-src. pp60c-src was found to be concentrated at least 9-fold in membranes from a subcellular fraction of nerve growth cones, the motile tips of outgrowing neuronal processes. Indirect immunofluorescence staining of cultured chick retinal explants showed pp60c-src in neuronal growth cones and processes, with the antigen particularly concentrated in growth cones of long neurites. pp60c-src in growth cone membranes was an active tyrosine-specific protein kinase with elevated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and reduced electrophoretic mobility characteristic of the form of pp60c-src in central nervous system neurons. pp60c-src was present at lower levels in subcellular fractions from mature rat brain but synaptosomal membranes were not enriched. Preferential localization of an active form of pp60c-src in nerve growth cone membranes and persistence of pp60c-src in mature neurons suggest that this tyrosine kinase is important in growth cone-mediated neurite extension and synaptic plasticity.

Phosphorylation of a phosphotyrosine-containing 120,000 Da protein (pp120) in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-infected mammalian cells and in in vitro protein kinase reactions was examined. Phosphorylated pp120 was co-immunoprecipitated with anti-pp60v-src antibodies only from RSV-transformed or revertant vole fibroblasts which contained active pp60v-src tyrosine kinase activity or from temperature-sensitive RSV-infected vole cells grown at the permissive temperature. Pp120 was phosphorylated on tyrosine in in vitro immune complex kinase reactions containing both pp120 and enzymatically active pp60v-src. Inhibition of pp60v-src's kinase activity blocked phosphorylation of pp120 in vitro. These results support the proposal that pp120 tyrosine phosphorylation is pp60v-src-dependent and that pp120 may thus serve as a substrate of pp60v-src in RSV-transformed mammalian cells.

In order to characterize more fully the mechanism by which casein kinase II is regulated in mammalian cells, the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the activity of the kinase in human A-431 carcinoma cells was examined. Treatment of cells with EGF prior to lysis consistently resulted in a transient 4-fold increase in the activity of cytosolic casein kinase II. Activity rose sharply between 20 and 30 min, peaked at approximately 50 min, and returned to basal levels by approximately 120 min. Similar results were obtained using the casein kinase II specific peptide substrate, Arg-Arg-Arg-Glu-Glu-Glu-Thr-Glu-Glu-Glu, or DNA topoisomerase II (which is specifically modified by the kinase in vivo and serves as a high affinity substrate in vitro) as the phosphate acceptor in assays. Identification of casein kinase II as the stimulated activity was confirmed by partial proteolytic mapping and phosphoamino acid analysis of modified topoisomerase II, by inhibition at nanomolar levels of heparin or micromolar levels of nonradioactive GTP, and by the ability to employ radioactive GTP as a direct phosphate donor. The EGF stimulation of casein kinase II was dependent on the availability of intracellular (but not extracellular) calcium. In addition, hormonal action was modulated by calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Casein kinase II stimulation did not require an increase in the concentration of the kinase, protein synthesis, the continual presence of a small effector molecule, or a direct interaction with the EGF receptor/tyrosine kinase. In contrast, hormonal activation of the kinase was dependent on the phosphorylation of casein kinase II or a terminal stimulatory factor.

We have examined the interaction between the serine/threonine kinase proto-oncogene product Raf-1 and the tyrosine kinase PDGF beta-receptor. Raf-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activity were increased by PDGF treatment of 3T3 cells or CHO cells expressing wild-type PDGF receptors but not mutant receptors defective in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the increase in Raf-1 kinase activity is a significant event in PDGF-induced mitogenesis. Concurrent with these increases, Raf-1 associated with the ligand-activated PDGF receptor. Furthermore, both mammalian Raf-1 and Raf-1 expressed using a recombinant baculoviral vector, associated in vitro with baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor. This association was markedly decreased by prior phosphatase treatment of the receptor. Following incubation of partially purified baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor with partially purified Raf-1, Raf-1 became phosphorylated on tyrosine and its serine/threonine kinase activity increased 4- to 6-fold. This is the first demonstration of the direct modulation of a protein activity by a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.

It has previously been demonstrated that calmodulin can be phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo by both tyrosine-specific and serine/threonine protein kinase. We demonstrate here that the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase purified from human placenta phosphorylates calmodulin. The highly purified receptors (prepared by insulin-Sepharose chromatography) were 5-10 times more effective in catalysing the phosphorylation of calmodulin than an equal number of partially purified receptors (prepared by wheat-germ agglutinin-Sepharose chromatography). Phosphorylation occurred exclusively on tyrosine residues, up to a maximum of 1 mol [0.90 +/- 0.14 (n = 5)] of phosphate incorporated/mol of calmodulin. Phosphorylation of calmodulin was dependent on the presence of certain basic proteins and divalent cations. Some of these basic proteins, i.e. polylysine, polyarginine, polyornithine, protamine sulphate and histones H1 and H2B, were also able to stimulate the phosphorylation of calmodulin via an insulin-independent activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase. Addition of insulin further increased incorporation of 32P into calmodulin. The magnitude of the effect of insulin was dependent on the concentration and type of basic protein used, ranging from 0.5- to 9.0-fold stimulation. Maximal phosphorylation of calmodulin was obtained at an insulin concentration of 10(-10) M, with half-maximal effect at 10(-11) M. Either Mg2+ or Mn2+ was necessary to obtain phosphorylation, but Mg2+ was far more effective than Mn2+. In contrast, maximal phosphorylation of calmodulin was observed in the absence of Ca2+. Inhibition of phosphorylation was observed as free Ca2+ concentration exceeded 0.1 microM, with almost complete inhibition at 30 microM free Ca2+. The Km for calmodulin was approx. 0.1 microM. To gain further insight into the effects of basic proteins in this system, we examined the binding of calmodulin to the insulin receptor and the polylysine. Calmodulin binds to the insulin receptor in a Ca2+-dependent manner, whereas it binds to polylysine seemingly by electrostatic interactions. These studies identify calmodulin as a substrate for the highly purified insulin receptor tyrosine kinase of human placenta. They also demonstrate that the basic proteins, which are required for insulin to stimulate the phosphorylation of calmodulin, do so by a direct interaction with calmodulin.

We have constructed seven deletions in the src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the Rous sarcoma virus src gene and have expressed them and wild-type v-src (wt v-src) in Rat 1 fibroblasts. Transfected cells containing mutant DNAs have reduced focus forming activity when compared to cells containing the wt v-src DNA. In most cases, established cell lines that express these mutants have altered growth properties in soft agar. The src proteins isolated from mutant cell lines have reduced tyrosine kinase activity. We also see differences in the phosphorylation of cellular proteins in vivo. Unlike the wt protein kinase, the SH2 domain mutant kinases do not phosphorylate a set of cellular proteins ranging in size from 120-150 kDa.
